Reassigning land - leasehold

Hello. I’ll try to make this as short as possible.
We live in a block of four maisonettes each with our own garden assigned to us.
It’s leasehold.
The small patch of land directly outside our front door is assigned to a maisonette on the next block over. He doesn’t tend to it (as in mow the grass/weed etc).
If he’s agreeable (which I think he would be as he has two proper gardens assigned to his maisonette in addition to the piece of small land that’s not hard) how easy is it to get that piece of land assigned to our maisonette?
Is it just a case of dealing with the land registry or do we also need to involve the leasehold company?

It would involve the freeholders and any mortgage lenders for either of the flats.0

How much are you offering the owner?
I imagine that will influence them.
Your freeholder would need to be in agreement and they can charge for that also.
Sounds like an odd set up, but unless it's a decent size it could be quite expensive for what it is.0 -
If he's agreeable just looking after it yourself would be cheaper. Does he know its his land?
